Michael Jackson’s ghost has been spotted at Neverland.
Fans of the late pop star - who
died of a suspected cardiac arrest on June 25, aged 50 - claim the
image of his spirit can be seen in the background of a TV show filmed
inside his beloved ranch.
During an interview with Michael’s brother Jermaine Jackson for CNN’s Inside Neverland TV show, a strange shadow appeared on the wall before crossing the corridor and moving around the room.
Fans believe the shadow is the Thriller singer’s spectre, which has returned to his former home from beyond the grave.
Gareth Jones, 26, said: "It’s an incredible couple of seconds of footage."
The
ghostly apparition was missed by Jermaine, US interviewer Larry King
and the film crew who failed to noticed its presence during the
recording of the show.
However,
the video - which was aired a week after Michael’s death - has become
an internet hit since it was posted on video streaming website YouTube
and hundreds of fans have commented on the footage believing it is the
ghost of their idol.
